Episode of Late Lunch With Out To Lunch, Ben Watson's weekly show on Resonance FM, where his pursuit of authentic subaltern expression leads him to gospel (the steel guitar-driven gospel of the Campbell Brothers, on these tracks an unholy alliance between Iron Butterfly and Rufus) and the goth fantastics of Nick Blinko (chapters 58-62, 63 of The Haunted Head (Coptic Cat, 2009).

Entitled What We Did Last Night , this episode of Late Lunch With Out To Lunch was seeded by recordings of a session by the AMM All-Stars at the Royal College of Art the night before: OTL (vocals, charcoal), Paul Shearsmith (pocket trumpet, p-bone, hosepipe didjeridoo), Len Masse y (analogue synth) and Peter Baxter (drums). OTL reads "Application of Want" by Cloughie , a text seeking explanation; in the Marxist context of Late Lunch, it became a danse macabre around the management...

In October 2017, for an episode of Late Lunch with Out To Lunch called "Well Shred Fall Silent", Out To Lunch debuted a ritualistic, arhythmic, urinary-domestic practice which was subsequently named Splash'n'Klang. Derived in equal measure from Tony Oxley's percussion work with guitarist Hugh Metcalfe; the duo of T. H. F.

Back-to-basics episode of Ben Watson's long-running weekly radio show for Resonance FM, Late Lunch With Out To Lunch, amplifying the implications of Frank Zappa's "Andy" from One Size Fits All (DiskReet, 1975), a track which treats the objective musicalism of Edgard Varese and Johnny "Guitar" Watson as facts which add up - not some limp postmodern blurge of "classical" and "pop", but polemical assertion of the music of the aroused and alert body.

For this episode of his long-running radio programme Late Lunch With Out To Lunch, presenter Out To Lunch took special measures. First, trying to recall his role as "irritant" on the London music scene, he reread several chapters of Shitkicks and Doughballs (Spare Change Books, 2003), Ben Watson's scrumptious parody of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog . Then Lunch invited over Peter Baxter, drummer with the AMM All-Stars , to his Somers Town flat, telling him to bring no drums,...

An edition of Late Lunch With Out To Lunch, Ben Watson's weekly radio show on Resonance FM, called "That Doesn't Lifestyle". These words came from an interview with Reggie Workman (Wire magazine November 1992) conducted by Watson when Workman played Company Week in July 1992. At the time they formed the inspiration and title for a piece of uncategorisable writing somewhere between musicological argument, song-quote reverie and automatic poetry. Eighteen years later - scriptless again...

Episode of Ben Watson's Late Lunch With Out To Lunch, originally broadcast on Resonance FM, predicated on "Kill Me", a Don & Dewey b-side released by Specialty Records in 1960. This tune is philosophy, contends Watson, backing his argument with guitar stylings from Joe Morris, Frank Zappa, Eugene Chadbourne and the Campbell Brothers. Watson also disinters Wyndham Lewis's 1932 essay "Physics of the Not-Self" to argue again the role of art as bourgeois society's permanent...

An edition of Ben Watson's Late Lunch With Out To Lunch, his long-running show on London's Resonance FM, co-presented with his four-year-old son Mordecai. Jazz is investigated (James Carter, Sonic Liberation Front) and played next to New Wave pop (Malcolm McLaren and Devo). A critique of dissidents from Workers Power results in a polemic against calls to "face the future", and solace is found in Eugene Chadbourne and Johnny "Guitar" Watson. Mordecai interprets a graphic poem.
